The scariest fish in the world, what is it? If you carefully understand the issue, you should first clarify what is meant. Indeed, in this context, the word “scary” has several meanings. Let's look at all about the worst.
Most dangerous
The scariest fish in the world in this case, of course, is a shark. This ancient predator is treacherous and bloodthirsty. Its dimensions make it possible to perceive all other inhabitants of the seas as prey.
Man is no exception. Therefore, the shark is the most dangerous fish. Its huge mouth is equipped not with one, but with several rows of fangs. Nature arranged her digestive system so that a truly gigantic appetite was satisfied. Shark teeth change six times during life, and there are several additional rows. For example, a giant grows them to seven thousand! The scariest shark fish are white. Legends circulate about their bloodthirstiness and ferocity. This is a big fish, it can reach more than ten meters in length. A man, falling into her mouth, is bitten in half.
The most disgusting
There is a monster that does not have scales or fins in the conventional sense. This is probably the scariest fish in the world in terms of appearance. She is called a drop, looks accordingly. Imagine a jelly-like something crowned with a practically human nose!
It looks at you with sad eyes through the water. Since the body density of this monster is less than water, it also sways under the influence of currents and waves. Drop fish lives deep enough. Therefore, it is deprived of some organs. Instead of an air bubble, she has a gelatinous body. Her character is peaceful, even virtuous. The most terrible drop fish, despite such a dubious name, are very caring. This is the only representative of the genus who “hatches” offspring. In the literal sense, sits on eggs until the fry appear! Then, a drop fish does not throw them either, but protects them from natural predators.
Dangerous Freshwater
But on the Amazon they will tell you for sure that the most terrible fish in the world is Paku! She's not as big as a shark. Only up to twenty five kilograms. This does not stop the pack from scaring coastal residents and tourists.
The contemplation of this river resident brings nothing pleasant. Her teeth are similar to human, she gladly demonstrates them. Yes, and applies without hesitation. Paku is voracious, loves to enjoy the meat of mammals. It also turned out that this fish was not averse to travel. If earlier it was met only in the Amazon, now fishermen of Asian rivers cannot feel safe. There is also information about two peasants who died from terrible wounds in New Guinea. An investigation into this incident led to the conclusion that the poor fellow bit the packs of pacs who settled in these parts.
Huge horror
So rightly characterized by the sawhorse slope. This is a giant ocean fish. Its size is simply staggering - seven meters. She has a nose up to three meters in length. With this weapon, the fish grinds everything that poses a danger to it. The bites of other dangerous creatures seem like children's games compared to what this ramp does to the victim. Fortunately, the fish is not so bloodthirsty. She attacks not for the purpose of making money. She just jealously guards her territory. This hulk moves imperceptibly.
To find out that danger is approaching a person is almost impossible before the ramp pounces. He grinds people instantly. It is impossible to defend oneself. But now there is almost nobody to fear. Sawdust slope - a species that disappears.
Almost saber-toothed
Such a title was received by vampires-haracin. They are found in the Amazon. The danger of this predator is that it has long fangs. Sometimes in adults, their length reaches sixteen centimeters. In addition, people endow characins with superintuition. They say that she feels where the victim has unprotected places. There is evidence that such a fish killed a person by a direct blow to the heart. Having pierced a victim's teeth, she intuitively finds the most vulnerable spot. She was awarded the title of Count Dracula among the fish. The size of the fish is rather big. The largest samples caught were one and a half meters long. Weight - twenty five kilograms.
The most shy of the monsters
The piranhas promoted by Hollywood cannot be avoided when a review is conducted on the theme “The Scariest Fish” (see photo below). Many legends go about their gluttony, ferocity, briskness and danger. I must say that some of them are true. Piranhas are truly pathologically aggressive. They are always hungry and attack at the first sign of blood (they feel it).
A person should not get involved in the fight against these flocking predators. Dangerous is not so much their greed for fresh meat as strong jaws. Once a piranha sticks its teeth into the victim’s body, it is already impossible to tear it off. But this thunderstorm of swimmers and fishermen is shy to the ridiculous. Flocks of piranhas fly away faster than the wind from a simple blow to the water.
The most poisonous
In Australia, another representative of the sea kingdom lives, dangerous to humans. This is scorpion. It is perfectly masked, painted in the color of the surrounding underwater world. Prefers to swim near the coast. It turns out that scorpion can harm bathers. Noticing her is very difficult. She does not use teeth to attack. Scorpions have another weapon - the fin. On it are sharp spikes associated with subcutaneous sacs filled with the strongest poison.
Poisoning is extremely dangerous. If the antidote is not taken in time, then death cannot be avoided. By the way, the locals learned to cope with this water scorpion. They catch scorpions and feast on their meat, having previously rid the fish of the poison. Information appears in the media that these monsters were seen on the Black Sea coast.
Ugly
Scary fish at the bottom of the ocean can scare anyone. Fortunately, so far only divers who have strong nerves can see them at arm's length. In those places where the sun's rays can not break through, anglers live. They are called the ugliest of marine creatures. As if ashamed of their appearance, they lead a bottom existence. They dig into the sand and wait for prey. They look scary.
On a huge head, cut by a wide mouth, ugly spikes flaunt. The teeth of the fish are not only sharp, but also bent inward. If you meet such a monster in the darkness of the sea, you can get a heart attack. These monsters grow to two meters in length. In addition, the color is gray or brown, so it is impossible to notice them from a distance. In order not to offend an innocent creature, it must be said that the names of deep-sea fish in themselves can be intimidating. So, among these creatures there is a sackcloth and a sackcloth! And what about sea slug or saber-toothed? Imagination tells all sorts of horrors.
The most unusual fish in the world
Not only monsters can surprise and amaze. There are creatures in the sea that amaze with their uniqueness. Unusual species of fish can be found in almost any large body of water. For example, a handfish lives in the seas surrounding Australia. It is surprising in that it does not swim, but moves in shallow water, resting on the fins. The latter look like little pens. And in the depths of the Pacific Ocean they found a telescope fish.
Her eyes are akin to a complex optical mechanism both in the number of “lenses” and in the aiming system. Since ancient times, they talked about such a miracle as flying fish. She can jump out of the water and quickly fly almost half a kilometer! But the size is struck by such a miracle as a maul-maul (moon fish). It can weigh up to one and a half tons! Such a beauty will fall on a diver - it will not seem enough! Among the unusual ones, Pegasus fish are noted. Not only did she reorient her mouth down, she also repainted at her discretion. Here is a miracle created by nature!
The rarest of the scary
This very dangerous miracle was so rarely seen by scientists that it was difficult to identify. Once, fishermen came across an extremely rare fish - a chimera. She had a terrible long nose, a poisonous spine, sharp teeth. Since this turned out to be just the second case of a collision of science with a secret resident of the depths, at first he was even mistaken for a shark. The rarity of its appearance is understandable, because the chimera mastered the deep waters - up to two kilometers.
These open spaces are still completely uncharted land for man. The chimera is quite large. The caught individual was five meters long and weighed 400 pounds.
